Crimson is a short novel following the lives of 5 different people living in Nuuk, Greenland, and all of them are exploring their queer identity in some way.

The chapters are very slice of life, and while the stream of consciousness might not work for everyone and in other books, I haven't always liked this style, I really enjoyed the writing style in Crimson. I found the book so easy to read, and I really flew through everyone's chapters, and I did feel like I got a brief glimpse of who each character was and what drove them. I do think one of my favourite chapters was the first chapter with Fia, and her realisation of her queer identity which she had never truly acknowledged before. The joy within Fia when everything clicked into place was lovely to read.

I wish we had more time with Ivik, especially after he accepts his trans identity (though it is strange that Ivik had to be 'told' about his identity rather than coming to it himself. And was then dumped because of it. Maybe all slightly problematic). I think we really only got the tip of the iceberg with Ivik and there was so much more to uncover.

I really enjoyed this. The writing flowed really well, and the translation was good. The language was on the crasser side of things so maybe not one for someone who prefers to read 'clean' books. I'm definitely interested in reading more from the author when her work is further translated into English.
